In the wake of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent arrest and legal battles involving federal s*x trafficking charges, his longtime publicist Nathalie Moar has reportedly resigned after over two decades of working closely with the music mogul.
Moar, 55, who headed communications for Diddy’s expansive empire, had her phone disconnected and email deactivated as of Wednesday, September 18, according to Mail Online.
A source close to the situation confirmed her departure: “Nathalie is gone. She is 100 percent gone. She quit today and had no other choice. She had to quit—what else was she going to do? This situation left her with no other option.”
Moar, who was an integral part of Diddy’s team since the late 1990s, played a significant role in shaping his public image and managing communications for his vast business ventures.

From launching Sean John’s fashion line and fragrances to overseeing his campaigns such as VOTE OR DIE and “Diddy Runs the City,” Moar’s influence on his $400 million empire has been undeniable.
However, the current legal storm appears to have been too much. Despite standing by Diddy through previous scandals, including Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit last November, which accused Combs of abuse and trafficking, Moar’s departure marks a significant shift.
Diddy, 54, denies the latest charges and maintained his innocence, telling the court, “Not guilty,” after hearing the allegations against him.
